COMMENT

Has a fractal-like behavior similar to the toothpick sequence A139250.

First differences: A161415, where there is an explicit formula for the n-th term.

Number of "ON" cells at n-th stage in simple 2-dimensional cellular automaton. [From Omar E. Pol (info(AT)polprimos.com), Nov 08 2009]

EXAMPLE

If we label the generations of cells turned ON by consecutive numbers we get the cell pattern shown below:

99.............99

.877887787788778.

.876666787666678.

.877887787788778.

98888888888888889

99.............99

In the first generation, only the central "1" is ON, a(1)=1. In the next generation, we turn ON eight "2"'s around the central cell, leading to a(2)=a(1)+8=9. In the third generation, twelve "3"'s are turned ON around the vertices of the square, a(3)=a(2)+3*4=21, and so on.
